deposits of estimated duties, where 

applicable.17

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by either of 

the respondents for which they did not 

know that the merchandise was 

destined to the United States, we will 

instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed 

entries at the all-others rate if there is no 

rate for the intermediate company(ies) 

involved in the transaction.18 For the 

companies identified in Appendix II 

that were not selected for individual 

examination, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate entries at the rate established 

after the completion of the final results 

of review. 

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review in the Federal Register. If a 

timely summons is filed at the U.S. 

Court of International Trade, the 

assessment instructions will direct CBP 

not to liquidate relevant entries until the 

time for parties to file a request for a 

statutory injunction has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication in the Federal Register of 

the notice of final results of 

administrative review for all shipments 

of CWP from Korea entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication as provided by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash 

deposit rate for the respondents will be 

equal to the weighted-average dumping 

margin established in the final results of 

this administrative review; (2) for 

merchandise exported by a company not 

covered in this review but covered in a 

prior segment of the proceeding, the 

cash deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published in the 

completed segment for the most recent 

period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm 

covered in this review or the original 

investigation but the producer is, then 

the cash deposit rate will be the rate 

established in the completed segment 

for the most recent period for the 

producer of the merchandise; (4) the 

cash deposit rate for all other producers 

or exporters will continue to be 4.80 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in the less-than-fair-value 

investigation.19 These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Final Results of Review 

Unless the deadline is otherwise 

extended, Commerce intends to issue 

the final results of this administrative 

review, including the results of its 

analysis of issues raised by interested 

parties in the written comments, within 

120 days of publication of these 

preliminary results in the Federal 

Register, pursuant to section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.213(h)(1). 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a preliminary 

reminder to importers of their 

responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping duties prior to liquidation 

of the relevant entries during this POR. 

Failure to comply with this requirement 

could result in Commerce’s 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of doubled 

antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

preliminary results in accordance with 

sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the 

Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 1, 2022, Commerce 

published a notice of opportunity to 

request an administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on fresh garlic 

from the People’s Republic of China 

(China)for the POR.1 On November 30, 

2022, the petitioners,2 Zhengzhou

Memorandum. 

13See APO and Service Final Rule. 

Huahui each timely requested an 

administrative review.3 On January 3, 

2023, based on these timely requests for 

administrative review, Commerce 

initiated this administrative review.4 On 

January 13, 2023, the petitioners and 

Harmoni each withdrew their review 

requests, leaving Huahui as the sole 

remaining exporter subject to this 

review.5 On July 11, 2023, Commerce 

extended the time for issuing the 

preliminary results of this review to 

November 30, 2023.6

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this investigation, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.7 A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is attached as the 

appendix to this notice. The Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is made available to the 

public via Enforcement and (ACCESS). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is available at 

https://access.trade.gov/public/ 

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Scope of the Order 

The product covered by the order is 

fresh garlic from China. For a complete 

description of the scope of this 

investigation, see the Prelimianry 

Decision Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Partial Rescission 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

Commerce will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole, or in 

part, if the party that requested a review 

withdraws the request within 90 days of 

the date of publication of the notice of 

initiation. As noted above, the 

petitioners and Harmoni timely 

withdrew their review requests. All 

requests to review the following 

companies were timely withdrawn: (1) 

Laiwu Ever Green Food Co., Ltd.; (2) 

Laiwu Manhing Vegetables Fruits Corp.; 

(3) Laiwu Taifeng Foods Co., Ltd.; (4) 

Ningbo Raffini Import & Export Co., 

Ltd.; (5) Qingdao Muyi International 

Trading Co., Ltd.; (6) Shandong Bairun 

Food Co., Ltd.; (7) Shanghai Yongtie 

Enterprise Management; and (8) 

Zhengzhou Harmoni Spice Co., Ltd. 

Because Huahui requested a review of 

itself, and did not withdraw its request, 

we are rescinding this review, in part, 

with respect to the companies in the 

petitioners and Harmoni’s review 

requests, except for Huahui, pursuant to 

19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). 

Intent To Rescind Administrative 

Review 

As discussed in the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum and Bona Fide 

Analysis Memorandum, Commerce 

preliminarily finds that the sales made 

by Huahui serving as the basis for this 

review are not bona fide sales of fresh 

garlic.8 Commerce reached this 

conclusion based on the totality of the 

record information surrounding 

Huahui’s reported sales, including, but 

not limited to, the sales prices, the 

profitability of the resold subject 

merchandise, the late payments, and the 

likelihood of future sales. 

Because the non-bona fide sales were 

the only reported sales of subject 

merchandise during the POR, we find 

that Huahui had no reviewable 

transactions during this POR. 

Accordingly, we preliminarily intend to 

rescind this administrative review.9 The 

factual information used in our bona 

fides analysis of Huahui’s sales involves 

business proprietary information. See 

the Bona Fide Analysis Memorandum 

for a full discussion of the basis for our 

preliminary findings. 

Disclosure and Public Comment 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c), 

interested parties may submit case briefs 

to Commerce no later than than 30 days 

after the date of publication of this 

notice. Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues 

raised in the case briefs, may be filed 

not later than five days after the date for 

filing case briefs.10 Interested parties 

who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs 

in this proceeding must submit: (1) a 

table of contents listing each issue; and 

(2) a table of authorities.11

As provided under 19 CFR 

351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior 

proceedings we have encouraged 

interested parties to provide an 

executive summary of their brief that 

should be limited to five pages total, 

including footnotes. In this review, we 

instead request that interested parties 

provide at the beginning of their briefs 

a public, executive summary for each 

issue raised in their briefs.12 Further, we 

request that interested parties limit their 

executive summary of each issue to no 

more than 450 words, not including 

citations. We intend to use the executive 

summaries as the basis of the comment 

summaries included in the issues and 

decision memorandum that will 

accompany the final results in this 

administrative review. We request that 

interested parties include footnotes for 

relevant citations in the executive 

summary of each issue. Note that 

Commerce has amended certain of its 

requirements pertaining to the service of 

documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f).13

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing must submit a written request to 

the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance, filed electronically via 

ACCESS. Requests should contain: (1) 

the party’s name, address, and 

telephone number; (2) the number of 

participants; and (3) a list of issues to be 

discussed. Issues raised in the hearing 

will be limited to those raised in the 

respective case briefs. An electronically 

filed hearing request must be received 

successfully in its entirety by 

Commerce’s electronic records system, 

ACCESS, by 5 p.m. Eastern Time within 

30 days after the date of publication of 

this notice. 

Verification 

On April 13, 2023, Commerce 

received a timely request from the 

petitioners to verify the information 

submitted by Huahui in the course of 

this administrative review, pursuant to 

section 782(i)(3). Because we intend to 

rescind this administrative review with

14th Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 75 

FR 34976 (June 21, 2010). 

respect to Huahui, we are not 

conducting a verification. 

Assessment Rates 

If Commerce proceeds to a final 

rescission of this administrative review, 

the assessment rate to which Huahui’s 

shipments are subject will not be 

affected by this review. If Commerce 

does not proceed to a final rescission of 

this administrative review, pursuant to 

19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we will calculate 

importer-specific (or customer-specific) 

assessment reates based on the final 

results of this review. 

For the companies for which this 

review is rescinded, antidumping duties 

shall be assessed at rates equal to the 

cash deposit of estimated antidumping 

duties required at the time of entry, or 

withdrawal from warehouse, for 

consumption, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(c)(l)(i). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

If Commerce proceeds to a final 

recission of ths administrative review, 

Huahui’s cash deposit rate will continue 

to be the China-wide rate of $4.71 per 

kilogram.14 If Commerce issues the final 

results for this administrative review, 

Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection to collect cash 

deposits, effective upon the publication 

of the final results, at the rates 

established therein. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a preliminary 

reminder to importers of their 

responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping duties prior to liquidation 

of the relevant entries during this 

review period. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in 

Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

preliminary results of review in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act, 19 CFR 

351.213(h)(2), and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).

Initiation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) has received 

requests to conduct administrative 

reviews of various antidumping duty 

(AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) 

orders with October anniversary dates. 

In accordance with Commerce’s 

regulations, we are initiating those 

administrative reviews. 

DATES: Applicable December 6, 2023. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Brenda E. Brown, AD/CVD Operations, 

Customs Liaison Unit, Enforcement and 

Compliance, International Trade 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue 

NW, Washington, DC 20230, telephone: 

(202) 482–4735. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Commerce has received timely 

requests, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(b), for administrative reviews of 

various AD and CVD orders with 

October anniversary dates. 

All deadlines for the submission of 

various types of information, 

certifications, or comments or actions by 

Commerce discussed below refer to the 

number of calendar days from the 

applicable starting time. 

Respondent Selection 

In the event that Commerce limits the 

number of respondents for individual 

examination for administrative reviews 

initiated pursuant to requests made for 

the orders identified below, Commerce 

intends to select respondents based on 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) data for U.S. imports during the 

period of review (POR). We intend to 

place the CBP data on the record within 

five days of publication of the initiation 

notice and to make our decision 

regarding respondent selection within 

35 days of publication of the initiation 

Federal Register notice. Comments 

regarding the CBP data and respondent 

selection should be submitted within 

seven days after the placement of the 

CBP data on the record of this review. 

Parties wishing to submit rebuttal 

comments should submit those 

comments within five days after the 

deadline for the initial comments. 

In the event that Commerce decides it 

is necessary to limit individual 

examination of respondents and 

conduct respondent selection under 

section 777A(c)(2) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), the 

following guidelines regarding 

collapsing of companies for purposes of 

respondent selection will apply. In 

general, Commerce has found that 

determinations concerning whether 

particular companies should be 

‘‘collapsed’’ (e.g., treated as a single 

entity for purposes of calculating AD 

rates) require a substantial amount of 

detailed information and analysis, 

which often require follow-up questions 

and analysis. Accordingly, Commerce 

will not conduct collapsing analyses at 

the respondent selection phase of this 

review and will not collapse companies 

at the respondent selection phase unless 

there has been a determination to 

collapse certain companies in a 

previous segment of this AD proceeding 

(e.g., investigation, administrative 

review, new shipper review, or changed 

circumstances review). For any 

company subject to this review, if 

Commerce determined, or continued to 

treat, that company as collapsed with 

others, Commerce will assume that such 

companies continue to operate in the 

same manner and will collapse them for 

respondent selection purposes. 

Otherwise, Commerce will not collapse 

companies for purposes of respondent 

selection. 

Parties are requested to (a) identify 

which companies subject to review 

previously were collapsed, and (b) 

provide a citation to the proceeding in 

which they were collapsed. Further, if 

companies are requested to complete 

the Quantity and Value (Q&V) 

Questionnaire for purposes of 

respondent selection, in general, each 

company must report volume and value 

data separately for itself. Parties should 

not include data for any other party, 

even if they believe they should be 

treated as a single entity with that other
